StoryCorp-Germans in the Woods

Many of you are reading and passing around Joanna Goddard's Storycorp post of the sweet, elderly couple.But late night KPBS-viewing yielded this new recording. It's still breaking my heart this morning. And it illustrates the damages of war on a personal level that is somehow more accessible and immediate than those overwhelming scenes of mass-casualties and destruction. This we can wrap our minds around. This refuses to be glorified or justified.
